Jiang You raised his hand to block it, but he didn't expect the ashes in the incense burner to be burning, and he was suddenly pounced on by the ashes, and let out a low 'ah' in pain.

All around her was a flying ash that was raised, and the man pretended to be unsteady on his feet, clutching the blade in his hand, and turned straight to her.

She couldn't see it really, but Xue Yuan, who was standing behind her, could see it, he frowned slightly, if Jiang You had an accident in Dongchang, he would also have to take responsibility, so I don't know if this person is targeting him or Jiang You.

At this time, he didn't have time to think about it, he swept it over with a light palm, looking light, but with a thousand strengths, 'dang', the dagger in the man's hand was taken off, and the man staggered back a few steps.

Jiang You came back to her senses at this time, and was shocked before she realized that the person who came out was not good, she was tightly protected by people before and after calling on weekdays, and she didn't have a chance to do it if she had kung fu, and when she encountered an assassin in her head, her first reaction was not to be afraid, but she was a little eager to try, and she was about to do it when she took a step, but she was dragged behind her by Xue Yuan with a belt.

Seeing that Huang Men didn't succeed in a blow, he actually fell out of his sleeve with a dagger, and his whole body pounced, and was kicked out by Xue Yuan, his body flew up in mid-air sideways, and when he fell, his face was like gold paper, and a few mouthfuls of blood choked out of his mouth.

With such a delay, the originally empty Donghua Gate has been surrounded by a few fans, brushing a few narrow knives out of the body, and they are about to cut it down.

Xue Yuan shouted to stop, the narrow knife stood in the air, he took a few steps forward, and when he saw the person's appearance clearly, his eyebrows couldn't help but move, and then his face was as usual, and he ordered lightly: "Take the person back, so that he can be interrogated." ”

If he remembers correctly, he has seen this person once, it seems that he was a eunuch who served by his side when King Ning was still a prince, and later rose all the way to the imperial horse eunuch. The man was about to kill himself as soon as he bit the tip of his tongue, and his jaw was removed by a quick-eyed fan.

Jiang You looked behind Xue Yuan, frowned and said, "Which prison is this person from?" How I haven't seen it. She raised her chin: "Hey, what about you!" Who sent you to assassinate Lone? ”

The man didn't look at her, just hung his head miserably, and let a few fans drag him down.

Jiang You was bored, touched his nose in a wry, and bumped Xue Yuan's waist with his elbow: "Palm print, what is the origin of this person, can you judge it?" ”

Xue Yuan had already guessed the identity of this person, and he was a little ruthless in his heart, he didn't care who King Ning wanted to kill, but he was using the people of the Twelve Prisons to do it, and it was a matter of happening in the territory of Dongchang, and it was obvious that even he was calculating.

However, it is common for you to cheat me and me hurt you in Vanity Fair, and he said to Jiang You with a steady face: "Don't worry, as long as you are not a dead person, Dongchang has no mouth that cannot be pried." As soon as he looked down and saw that Jiang You's hands were burned with incense ash, he frowned and said, "You go back with me first, let's put on some ointment." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said Jiang You, he felt that the fire was burning and hurting, covered his hands and nodded, Xue Yuan took her back to the warm pavilion, and ordered someone to take the scalded ointment, and now the wound has bulged bright blisters, lined with white and pink little hands, which is particularly shocking.

He took the needle and roasted it on the fire, lowered his head and compared it to her hand, and whispered, "You bear with it." ”

The tip of the needle was bright and shaking, Jiang You bared his teeth, turned his head and didn't look at it, he felt a little sharp pain, the pus and blood in it were released, and Xue Yuan took a paste and put it on her.

Jiang You suddenly put his hand to his mouth, looking at him without blinking, Xue Yuan turned around and took the handkerchief handed by the person next to him and wiped his hand, seeing her movements, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

Jiang You said very familiarly: "Blow." She raised her face: "Every time I get hurt, the incense seal blows for me." ”

This child is really used to boundless, Xue Yuan glanced at her, still pursed the red and glamorous lips slightly, leaned over and exhaled a few breaths gently, a slender strand wrapped around her fingertips, she subconsciously made a grasping motion, and when she came back to her senses, it was gone.

Jiang You was satisfied, and was about to open his mouth to praise him for a few words, when he suddenly heard someone outside the eaves shouting in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, go back quickly!" Your Majesty, the Emperor is afraid that it will not be good! ”

Concubine Shugui stood outside the door of the palace, followed by a few low-ranking concubines: "What do you mean by this, the emperor's holy body is against harmony, and I can't wait to go in to serve the sick?" ”

In the end, he has been in charge of Fengyin for many years, and she is the niece of the current queen mother, and her power is not comparable to others, Liu Xia blocked the door of the palace, in a dilemma, but thinking of Xiaozong's instructions before he fainted, he could only stubbornly say: "Niangniang, don't embarrass the slaves, this is the order of the Lord of Long Live Lord, and the slaves dare not disobey it." ”

Concubine Shu said unhurriedly: "You just let the palace in, the palace is to take a look, to see if there is anyone under the bottom who is not taking care of it." Now that there are no six gods in the harem, the palace is not only for himself, but also for the sisters of the harem to serve the emperor. ”

The women in the palace are also pitiful, their honors and favors are given by the emperor, when the emperor is born, they have to be accompanied by small children, and after they die, they have to enter the imperial tomb to accompany the spirit, and at this time they are naturally in a hurry.

At this time, there were a few heavy coughs floating in the hall, heartbreaking, and Concubine Shu's expression moved, and she was busy crying; "Your Majesty, please allow the concubines to go in and serve the sick. Knowing that your body is not happy, the concubine only thinks about what she can do, and hopes that you will get better as soon as possible. ”

It is best to get the pardon of Chrysostom Yuyan, so that she does not have to go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb, so that her glory and wealth can be preserved.

The voice inside lowered again, and muttered a few times in a low voice, and the door of the palace suddenly opened, and a eunuch came out to speak: "The emperor said, except for the prince and the third duke, no one is seen!" ”

Concubine Shu still wanted to distinguish it, but she saw the eunuch's face change, and said happily behind her: "Prince, you can count it." ”

Jiang You hurriedly ran up the steps, his hair was crooked, and he didn't notice it, and his face couldn't hide his anxiety: "What's wrong with my father?" ”

The eunuch glanced at Xue Yuan, who was following her, and turned sideways to make a way: "You can go and see for yourself." ”

Jiang You hurriedly stepped in, Xue Yuan followed behind her, no one dared to stop her, Concubine Shu also wanted to follow up, but was stopped by the eunuch outside the door, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the saint didn't say that he wanted to see you, you better wait outside and wait for the summons." ”

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and was about to speak, when she saw Jiang You say impatiently: "Aren't you still sick a few days ago, since you are sick, then take care of your illness in the palace, how can there be a reason to let the patient serve the patient." ”

Concubine Shugui's body stiffened, a few days ago the Queen Mother and Xiaozong had some discord, as the niece of the Queen Mother, in order to avoid trouble, she specially called her sick, and she rushed here when she saw that things were not good today, but she didn't expect to be said by Jiang You to sweep her face.

Jiang You didn't bother to pay attention to her, strode in, and suddenly threw himself on the side of Xiaozong's bed, seeing that there was still blood faintly bubbling in his mouth and nose, his lips trembled, and he held his hand and said in a panic: "What's wrong with you?!" She turned her head sharply and raised her head, "What about the Imperial Doctor?!" What about the Tai Doctor! ”

Xiaozong opened his eyes slightly, there was still a star of flame left under his eyes, raised his hand and patted her hand gently, but his eyes couldn't help but turn to Xue Yuan, who was standing not far away.

He stood outside the veil, through the heavy veil, he could only see the shadow of a person, Xiaozong looked in a trance, he promoted Xue Yuan to help him deal with political affairs, check and balance civil officials, and let him free up for alchemy and cultivation. But after a few years of hard work, he has already leaned into power and the opposition, and has deeply rooted in the Great Qi Dynasty, and even he, the emperor, can't touch it.

Xiaozong turned his head to look at Jiang You, and saw that she was anxious, and his heart was even more astringent, now he just hopes that this child can suppress him, is it just possible?

He exhaled and ordered everyone to go out, but after a while, he said, "Xue Qing stays." Xue Yuan froze as he said

He closed his eyes and coughed a few times, turned his face to Jiang You and said, "You'er" He leaned on his back on the pillow: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to protect you for long, you are destined to be the emperor in the future, you must remember that those who were monarchs in the previous dynasty have clear rewards and punishments, and they must be relaxed, and they must have their own opinions, and they cannot be at the mercy of their subordinates." He was faintly oozing blood from his mouth and nose, and he gasped: "The queen mother of the harem is not my own mother, she was forcibly sent to Zhongnan Mountain to worship the Buddha last month, and you can't come back before you ascend the throne, you are the emperor, and you can dispose of the rest of the palace concubines at will, just don't offend all the clans behind them." ”

Xue Yuan stood outside the veil, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the first half of this was said to him, but Xiaozong looked at all the palaces and harems, and only missed King Ning, but there was such a stubble, and she couldn't help but be at the mercy of others, and she couldn't help but be in charge in the future.

Jiang You wrote it down carefully, and said with tears in his eyes: "Erchen is provincial." ”

Xiaozong raised his hand and touched her face, stretched out into the air but fell down abruptly, and smiled miserably: "And don't be superstitious in the future, let alone mess with those so-called immortal techniques, people are destined to be born, old, sick and die, don't be greedy, delusional about the art of immortality." ”

Jiang You held his hand and put it on his face, choked up and couldn't speak, just pursed his lips and nodded.

Xiaozong exhaled, leaned on the pillow and gasped for a moment, and suddenly said, "You'er will go out first, and Xue Qing will stay." ”

Jiang You's red eyes were swollen and he glanced at Xue Yuan in dismay, but he still went out obediently.

Xue Yuan held the medicine bowl, lifted the veil and walked to his bedside, Xiaozong looked at him quietly, and suddenly said lightly; "Xue Qing, how many years have it been since I promoted you?"

Xue Yuan stood steadily beside the bed: "If you go back to the emperor, it's been seven years." ”

Xiaozong leaned back on the pillow: "It's been seven years, I not only gave you Dongchang, but also gave you the right to approve red, and now no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to act without looking at your face." ”

Xue Yuan said calmly: "It's all the glory you gave." ”

Xiaozong smiled lowly, his sallow face was a little hideous: "You'er is young, the foundation is unstable, it is the time to take power, I see that you and You'er are in harmony, this batch of red power will be returned to her by you, which can be regarded as your loyalty." ”

Xue Yuan pretended to be abrupt: "No wonder you specially let the prince go to Dongchang today, it turned out that you had the intention of letting the ministers give up power." Are you so guarded against your ministers, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the people below? ”

Xiaozong's face was a little ugly, Xue Yuan stood in front of his bed with his hands behind his back, smiled peacefully, and suddenly changed his tone: "Do you know? Today, the prince met an assassin, and the minister has already found out that it was sent by King Ning to do it, and you have spent most of your life on guard, so you shouldn't guard against it."

He laughed low and didn't say anything, looking at Xiaozong's blue face with interest, he couldn't stop coughing, and even his voice trembled: "I, I have pressed Lao Qi for most of his life, he has no power in his hands, but an idle prince, how can it be" He leaned down and coughed heavily: "If he has shown a little ambition over the years, how can I allow him to be now?" ”

"The harder you press, the more hatred he has in his heart, and over time, there will always be a time to explode." Xue Yuan straightened up and straightened the hem of the house: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, if you know it in the future, you will naturally be able to understand that the minister still has something to do, so he will retire." ”
